3/4 Day Inshore Fishing Charter
6hr Trip of a Lifetime
I cant rave enough about this charter. Capt Mike was early at the dock and ready to go when we arrived. The boat was clean, the gear was ready, and bait was lively. Our first stop was a beautiful grass flat with a lot of activity. First hookup catch was a bonnethead shark which was fun to fight. Then the war started. My dad hooked a big redfish that started a back and forth battle for about 20 minutes. The redfish was oversized at 32 inches. We caught a few keeper trout at this spot before we moved on. The next spot had a couple of snook up in the mangroves. We caught one that was 22in and lost another. We hit 4 or 5 more spots catching redfish and trout. After reaching the dock, Capt Mike cleaned our catch, bagged it, and added some ice from the boat to our cooler to keep cold for our travel home. We will definitely be booking another trip in the future.

3/4 Day Inshore Fishing Charter
Amazing Inshore Fishing Trip
Our office staff booked a 3/4 day inshore fishing trip out of Tampa with Captain Mike and it was such an awesome experience from start to finish. He had everything ready for us and made sure we were all catching fish. A couple of us were complete newbies and had no idea what we were doing. Captain Mike was patient with us and was great about showing us the right techniques and offering any helpful tips. We caught snook, redfish, and a few ladyfish. Professional, knowledgeable, and so much fun! We will definitely book with him again!
